"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post
"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life
"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Just to add to my point, if Joe Torre and Buck Showalter were to trade places and Joe managed the Yankees the years that Buck did (early 1990's), and Buck managed the years Joe did (late 1990's, early 2000's), it would be Buck with all those championships and wins and Joe with the much lower win total. Just like Joe Torre was a big winner with the Yankees but managed 5 Mets teams to last place. So it is all about the teams they are given, if they are given a good team, a mediocre team, or a bad team, that determines their success.
A manager is a reflection of the team he manages. Give a manager a very good team and he will win with that good team, barring injuries and slumps. Give that same manager a bad team and he will lose with that team. It is more about roster construction than it is strategic moves that either work or don't work for a manager.
